any sex based right is now gender based from what i remember. so trans woman can go for female sports scholarships based on gender.

    only if you think a ftm can compete with natal males. any cis guy can say he's trans and compete with cis women. Sports scholarships were created to get people who couldn't afford college a way in. A way for more women to get in. considering whats going on with schools these days they aren't too concerned with a merit based system.Just equity.

      It's already obvious that disabled people can't get sports scholarships, and I don't hear them complaining about it, so your virtue-signaling on their behalf is misguided. There are many different types of scholarships based on skills or characteristics. Personally, I do agree with you that college should be more accessible. You might not think that sports scholarships should exist period, but the fact is, men would take priority over women for sports scholarships. The reason that sports are segregated by sex is because males have a biological advantage. Getting rid of this segregation, which was implemented for fairness, would give men an unfair advantage when it comes to access to scholarships.
